Emotional Intelligence, Vroom’s Expectancy Theory, and Globalization

Do some research and answer the following critical thinking questions from this week’s readings. In your analysis, cite a minimum of three (3) references from different sources (the textbook can be one source).Man with laptop open, looking out the window thinking.

Analyze the four key elements of emotional intelligence and how they apply to you as a manager or a student. Are there any elements you need to develop or improve? If so, why. If not, why not?

According to Vroom’s Expectancy Theory, he suggests people are motivated by two things: how much they want something, and how likely they think they will get it. Expectancy is the belief that a particular level of effort will lead to a particular level of performance. Apply Vroom’s expectancy theory to explain your level of effort in this class and evaluate if you think your level of effort is reflective of your level of performance. Explain your rationale.

Discuss how the trend toward globalization is impacting the need for companies to effectively manage diversity.

Your submission should be a minimum of two (2), double-spaced, full pages of analysis with proper reference citation per current APA guidelines.

Discussion 1: HU260

Cogent Reasoning

The goal of an argument, as we are using the term, is to persuade. Specifically, a good argument persuades someone into adopting a conclusion that is rational on the basis of its premises.

This week, you will recount a time when you were persuaded or had your mind changed by a good argument.

• Make sure that you identify a situation in which you were convinced or had your mind changed on the basis of good evidence.
• Note: An “argument” for the purposes of this class does not refer to a verbal altercation, but a collected series of statements intended to prove some conclusion.

Discussion 2: ACC226

Overhead Costs Company Example

This week we covered Chapter 3, Process Costing and Chapter 4 Activity Based Costing. Process Costing is for manufacturers which assemble products that are identical. Activity Based Costing assigns costs to overhead activities and then assigns those costs to the assembled products. Using the company in your Week 1 post, please identify some overhead costs in the manufacturing operations. What makes these overhead costs and what cost driver should be used to apply the overhead costs to the products?

Each post should be 75-150 words in length.

Plagiarism is not acceptable in any form and a score of zero will be given on the paper, as the paper will be checked by Turnitin Website for plagiarism.

These companies help you to answer questions. No need outside sources. Does not have to use two companies, you can use one company, but it depends on questions below. Answer questions carefully.

1. Ruby Receptionists, Portland.

2. Granite Properties, Texas.

1) Do you believe any of the companies you chose have competitive advantage as measured by accounting profitability, shareholder value creation, or the “triple bottom line?” (If a company is publicly held, you may do research on it.)

2) For one of the companies, tell whether the firm has any core competences.(this doe not have to be a firm that has competitive advantage.)

3) For one company that does have competitive advantage, do you believe its current competitive advantage is sustainable? Why do you believe the competitive advantage is or is not sustainable? (If none of the companies you have been thinking about seems to have competitive advantage or for some reason you cannot obtain data on them, you may answer this question for a company we have discussed in class, e.g. Tesla, Starbucks.)

4) Based on what we have discussed in class so far, would you recommend any changes in the firm’s strategies? Why or why not?
